Out of all the boxes, is this one the bluest?

[lite]

Many don't know this, since I am a known PVP God, but I am fairly new to the box scene. I only got into red 99 as Kunark started.

Anyways, I always hear people talking about all these awesome matches and pvp that went down on other boxes. It seems things were quite different from red 99, where contesting never happens for one reason or another.

Yes Red 99 might be the most stable box, but is it also the bluest?

If you can cite another box where PVP was far more prominent, please tell us about it.

Where did the matches break out? How did pvp get started? How available was it? etc

People don't like mass PVP more than the PVE progression style or else more would be doing it.

I hate to quote Nirgon, but hate the game not the playa.

(My favorite part of EQ is mass pvp, I wish it wasn't so)

I actually agree with you on this. R99 is fairly boring right now and only reason why I raided in nihilum was because I could afk raid from work many years ago when my role had no challenges. The mass pvp was the highlights by far and I enjoyed the game just as much when nihilum was the underdog on nizzars fabled D3 break.

Now I'm in charge of the infrastructure (given that the infrastructure manager is on leave) technical project manager for new business and am an adhoc dev when needed. Raiding @ work was over a very long time ago when my role was solely application support and I knew the system inside-out.

I have a hard time understanding what is the 'right way to pvp'.. I came from rallos zek, where the server was all about progression as per designed by the original creator and god brad mcquaid envisioned it.

It was more difficult than the blue servers, becuse its a free for all wild west, where if someone wanted to be a bandit and go around the world killing people, they could.. that made the game even harder for them, becuse they had to hang out and progress with other bandits, that often are difficult to trust. Even here, when I hang with known pvpers theres always that fear that they may just kill you for kek's.

So to me, PvP here is working as designed in the original classic sense.

Is that what everyone wants here? Yes and No of course.

Lite, what do YOU think pvp on the box should be like? In a perfect utopian world, what would a night on the server be like?

Like Smite? you log on, level 1 and by the end of the night you are level 50 fully geared just via PVP?

Like Battlefield? Everyone is level 60 and geared basically the same and we just log into North Freeport and just pvp for like 20-40 mins for a nice KDR?

Or like EQ? Lots of PvE progression - gankers and pvp guilds roaming trying to stop progression of strangers for reasons?

Curious, what is your ideal pvp lifestyle? This question goes out to everyone, since everyone seems to think everyone else is doing it wrong.... what is your way of right?

Me personaly? basically what we got here.. I think its a great mix of PvE and PvP.. Although Id like to see 20-30 people in NFP just logging on to PVP for KDR [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I don't think EQ pvp was ever designed. It was more of how to hammer the square peg into a round hole so we they get a few more subscribers. Many people had fun on the various servers but I never seen any well thought out posts back in the day that said anything other than "EQ never was and never will be a balanced, well designed pvp game. "
